About Are we now entering a mass extinction event? What can mass extinctions in Earth’s history tell us about the Anthropocene?

What do mass extinction events look like and how does life on Earth recover from them? The fossil record reveals periods when biodiversity exploded, and short intervals when much of life was wiped out in mass extinction events. In comparison with these ancient events, today’s biotic crisis hasn’t (yet) reached the level of extinction to be called a mass extinction.

But we are certainly in crisis, and current parallels with ancient mass extinction events are profound and deeply worrying.

Humanity’s actions are applying the same sorts of pressures - on similar scales - that in the past pushed the Earth system out of equilibrium and triggered mass extinction events. Analysis of the fossil record suggests that we still have some time to avert this disaster: but we must act now.

Humans are facing a major biotic crisis of our own making. Michael Hannah sets the current biodiversity crisis into the context of Earth history as told by the fossil record, helping readers fully appreciate the environmental crisis we face, and pointing the way we can avoid a mass extinction of our own creation Explains the concept of the Earth System as the regulator of the planet’s climate and the consequences that result from its failure Stresses the importance of mass extinctions in the history of life, telling readers how mass extinctions control both the level of the planet’s biodiversity and the composition of its biota

Lessons from the Past for a Better Future

About

AUD $24.95 / NZD $26.95

Hilary Cooper, Economic researcher and writer Simon Szreter, University of Cambridge

Why was the UK so unprepared for the pandemic, suffering one of the highest death rates and worst economic contractions of the major world economies in 2020? Hilary Cooper and Simon Szreter reveal the deep roots of our vulnerability and set out a powerful manifesto for change post-Covid-19. They argue that our commitment to a flawed neoliberal model and the associated disinvestment in our social fabric left the UK dangerously exposed and unable to mount an effective response.

This is not at all what made Britain great. The long history of the highly innovative universal welfare system established

by Elizabeth I facilitated both the industrial revolution and, when revived after 1945, the postwar Golden Age of rising prosperity. Only by learning from that past can we create the fairer, nurturing and empowering society necessary to tackle the global challenges that lie ahead - climate change, biodiversity collapse and global inequality.

About

And th e Qu est fo r Well - B e ing

Released in 1984, Steven E. Rhoads’ classic was considered by many to be among the best introductions to the economic way of thinking and its applications. This anniversary edition has been updated to account for political and economic developments - from the greater interest in redistributing income and the ascendancy of behaviorism to the Trump presidency. Rhoads explores opportunity cost, marginalism, and economic incentives and explains why mainstream economists - even those well to the left - still value free markets. He critiques economics for its unbalanced emphasis on narrow self-interest as controlling motive and route to happiness, highlighting philosophers and positive psychologists’ findings that happiness is far more dependent on friends and family than on income or wealth. This thought-provoking tour of the economist’s mind is a must read for our times, providing a clear, lively, non-technical insight into how economists think and why they shouldn’t be ignored.

Industry Unbound

The Inside Story of Privacy, Data, and Corporate Power

9781108492423 Hardback AUD $37.95 / NZD $40.95 Available September 2021 Ari Ezra Waldman, Northeastern University

About In Industry Unbound, Ari Ezra Waldman exposes precisely how the tech industry conducts its ongoing crusade to undermine our privacy. With research based on interviews with scores of tech employees and internal documents outlining corporate strategies, Waldman reveals that companies don’t just lobby against privacy law; they also manipulate how we think about privacy, how their employees approach their work, and how they weaken the law to make data-extractive products the norm. In contrast to those who claim that privacy law is getting stronger, Waldman shows why recent shifts in privacy law are precisely the kinds of changes that corporations want and how even those who think of themselves as privacy advocates often unwittingly facilitate corporate malfeasance. This powerful account should be ready by anyone who wants to understand why privacy laws are not working and how corporations trap us into giving up our personal information.

Reviews ‘Ari Waldman’s powerful new book combines fascinating on-the-ground insights and a sharp critical eye to help us understand why, despite touted improvements in data protection, our privacy remains in jeopardy. Industry Unbound is clear, compelling, and essential reading for the personal data field and anyone who is concerned about privacy.’

Woodrow Hartzog, Professor of Law and Computer Science, Northeastern University, and author of Privacy’s Blueprint ‘Why is there so much privacy law but so little privacy? The answer lies in the way privacy compliance is practiced on the ground. Ari Waldman supplies a lucid, rigorous explanation of how privacy law has become captured from the inside out.

Essential reading.’ Julie E. Cohen, Mark Claster Mamolen Professor of Law and Technology, and author of Between Truth and Power

From the 1830s, many students flocked to Berlin to study with people who had studied with Hegel, and both his original students, such as Feuerbach and Bauer, and later arrivals including Kierkegaard, Engels, Bakunin, and Marx, evolved into leading nineteenth-century thinkers.

Jon Stewart’s panoramic study of Hegel’s deep influence upon the nineteenth century in turn reveals what that century contributed to the wider history of philosophy. This book is a required reading for historians of ideas as well as of philosophy.

Benedict (Baruch) de Spinoza (1632–1677) was one of the most systematic, inspiring, and influential philosophers of the early modern period.

David Wenham’s accessible volume is a concise and wideranging engagement with that enduring and elusive subject. Exploring the sources for Jesus and his scholarly reception, he surveys information from Roman, Jewish, and Christian texts, and also examines the origins of the gospels, which had the earliest oral traditions about Jesus. Wenham demonstrates that the Jesus of the New Testament makes sense within the first century CE context in which he lived and preached. He offers a contextualised portrait of Jesus and his teaching, and brings insights into Jesus’ vision of the future and his understanding of his death and calling.

Anne Orford

As the future of international law has become a growing site of struggle within and between powerful states, debates over the history of international law have become increasingly heated. International Law and the Politics of History explores the ideological, political, and material stakes of apparently technical disputes over how the legal past should be studied and understood. Drawing on a deep knowledge of the history, theory, and practice of international law, Anne Orford argues that there can be no impartial accounts of international law’s past and its relation to empire and capitalism.

A Proposal to Save the Planet

Rising economic inequality has put capitalism on trial globally. At the same time, existential environmental threats worsen while corporations continue to pollute and distort government policy. These twin crises have converged in calls to revamp government and economic systems and to revisit socialism. In Capitalism and the Environment, Shi-Ling Hsu argues that such an impulse, if enacted, will ultimately harm the environment. Hsu argues that inequality and environmental calamities are political failures and not a symptom of capitalism. This book proposes that we make a different set of political choices to better harness the transformative power of capitalism, which will allow us to reverse course and save the environment.

The Dissolution of the American University

American higher education is under attack today as never before.

A growing right-wing narrative portrays academia as corrupt, irrelevant, costly, and dangerous to both students and the nation. Budget cuts, attacks on liberal arts and humanities disciplines, faculty layoffs and retrenchments, technology displacements, corporatization, and campus closings have accelerated over the past decade. In this timely volume, Ronald G. Musto draws on historical precedent – Henry VIII’s dissolution of British monasteries in the 1530s – for his study of the current threats to American higher education. He shows how a triad of forces – authority, separateness, and innovation – enabled monasteries to succeed, and then suddenly and unexpectedly to fail. Musto applies this analogy to contemporary academia. Despite higher education’s vital centrality to American culture and economy, a powerful, anti-liberal narrative is severely damaging its reputation among parents, voters, and politicians. Musto offers a comprehensive account of this narrative from the mid twentieth century to the present, as well as a new set of arguments to counter criticisms and rebuild the image of higher education.
